The Rikki-Tikki-Tavi Imperative

You should write a book about that " This was the enthusiastic demand whenever David P. Farnsworth used and described situation tags such as the 360 Degree Temptation or Dumpster Dilemma. Listeners resonated with the realization that they had not learned to recall what they know, and use that recollection meaningfully. We spend a great deal of time and money in training and seminars to learn new ideas, methods and processes, but how much effort do we give to remembering and using what we have already learned? We use calendars, PDAs and computers to organize our time, tasks and communications, but what about similar efforts to organize our education and experience? In this much-requested book, Mr. Farnsworth, in 30 short essays and accompanying tips, presents situation tagging. Using experiences from his more than 35 years in top level management of global organizations, David shows his readers how they too can learn to know what they know and use that knowledge and experience more effectively. You will understand how to consciously focus your life-time of learning into a memorable context and give each situation a meaningful tag. Using what you will learn in this book, you will be ready to create a map for your mind, a search engine for your experience, and then to act with greater confidence and competence. You can release and refocus both the education and experiences locked in the increasingly large and complex files of your brain. No more wandering in circles; less time spent deciding which path to take; more confidence you are heading in the right direction. Whether to enhance your business management skills, solve your time constraint issues or improve personal productivity, Farnsworth's methods will let you have a problem identified and solved or a plan prepared and set in action while others are still trying to figure out what's up or where you are already off to.
